Transforming the gyres and pains of life into joys and peace

Hello, and thank you for visiting this website! I am the creator of the custom prayer beads and content you will find here. My aim is to help anybody willing to experience something beyond the visible realm do so through the power of gems, meditation, contemplation and expansion of the role of our senses through a connection with beauty. Every bead necklace and bracelet set is handmade with love and care. Your prayer beads will be created specifically for you based on the prototypes shown on this website.

Purchases are possible only through Etsy for the time being, and the website directs to my Etsy store. The stones are all purchased from a reputable place, called Teja’s Beads. It’s a company that has been around in the gem industry for a while now, and also can be found at trade mineral shows and online. After receiving the stones, I purify them with a smudging ritual. Sometimes I soak to purify using water and sea salt, rose water, gotukola or hops overnight. But most often I will use sage. Softer stones are not submerged in water to avoid damaging them and are purified through smudging only. The necklaces are two types – stranded beads and knotted beads or a combination of both. They are durable and will withstand multiple rotations through your fingers as you meditate with the mantras that resonate with you best. You can find some mantras and their explanations on this site too.

I create all the prayer beads in my own home, during times of peace and quiet. In fact, every creation is a kind of ritual on its own and in doing so I aim to transfer positive energy into the stones. Don’t forget you can program your own stones as you will, and the more you use them for meditation and with a connection to the feeling of the different energies they bring, the more they will generate that precise energy for you. It is this symbiosis with an object or natural flow of energy that makes it so special to have a prayer bead in your life. Enjoy them, cherish them, name them if you like. The idea is that you connect – with the earth, from which these gems come and with yourself, deep down where all your power lies.

  • I have a full-time position at a software company, which I love because it keeps my mind curious and submerged in these peculiar modern times we live in. I also have a small child, a dog, and a cat. I manage the Deya website and create all items listed here by myself. Please be understanding if the universe would so conspire that order fulfillment delays fall upon our mutual interaction. Any such issues will be clearly communicated to you in advance. Thank you.
